Maybe ansmann being so cheap was the reason for them not being in business now?
There are "cheap" buggies about, hobao, durangos, older losi's, etc. Generally with the cheap stuff, you need to spend way more in excess of the kit price in upgrades to make them durable and competitive however.
It's not just kit price that you need to look at, but factor in price and availability of parts.
£200-£250 seems about the normal price for a racers spec kit, with the quality Japanese end being more expensive.
With new buggies coming and people refreshing their rides for the new season, there are plenty of decently priced second hand buggies about at competitive prices, often well looked after and maintained, with loads of spares, etc.
